New project time! A big welcome to the key verifier. As much as we would like the web of trust of GPG keys to work, most people don't know enough people who use GPG for it to work. So as a little helper (and a pretty small one at that) the key verifier will sign your key once you've proved you control the email address in the UID. Thanks to AaronSw and Ian for testing it out.

Introduction to the Semantic Web. It would be nice if this works. At least the SW people realise that they are never going to create a pretty system if it's going to be worldwide, I only worry that because they're aiming pretty low, they are going to hit far too low. Time will tell.

I guess there's a chance they might be looking for a Linux knowing intern now - but more likely they are just going to get swatted.
